@Asmodeus566 Thank you for getting it out to a CM. It's at least something, considering that we have exactly 0 other options.

Had the same issue. Banned from apex last Friday.
As a prestige 700 player with 1600+ hours and multiple heirlooms this is very frustrating given k just switched to Linux haha. I feel the pain of everyone in this thread.
Fedora 37 KDE
Proton-GE
Launch options: -dev mangohud gamemoderun %command% RADV_PERFTEST=gpl
Really hope we all get unbanned <3

    @stillkoyI am sorry but this really isn't the thread for you. If your issue is separate you probably should just try to email EA support in the hopes of a resolution. This thread is designed to bring awareness that there's something going on for people running Linux.
    Oh I see that you have already emailed them multiple times. Sorry but there's not a lot we can do as your issue is clearly separate to the main topic here ☹️

  @AssumptionsandGHow does @spongue's post compare to your settings? Were you using DX12?

    @Jaxseven Hi There! I play on DX11 mostly tho i did try DX12 once or twice a few weeks ago.
    
    I've been using Proton-GE-7.49, though I may have been using 7.47 or 7.49 at the time of the ban I cant remember which specifically, tho I could check logs if this is helpful.
    
    I was mostly using Plasma+Wayland at the time of ban, tho I was mostly using X11 up until a couple of weeks ago. I haven't tried Apex with any other D.E and I've been running Fedora 37, though i can think of one occassion when i ran Apex in Arch (also using Plasma 5.26/27).
    
    my full launch options: -dev -fps_max unlimited mangohud gamemoderun %command% RADV_PERFTEST=gpl
